I have an Intel NUC running 3.13.11.6; and I have written an application that runs some simple data polling (cpu, memory usage, disk usage etc ...). The NUC is headless, so I connect via SSH (putty) and can execute the program.
My issue is that I need the program to run for days; and if I close the putty session, the process is killed.
I do not have cron on the system, or some way to remote execute the application (that I am aware of).
*** edit - some recommendations for using screen and tmux were great, however I am learning this is a custom implementation of Ubuntu and these are not available.
Does anyone have any suggestions on the best way to run an application on a headless Ubuntu system and not have the process killed when the ssh session disconnects?
Appreciate any help!
Thank you,
Dan.
